If you care to change your post with that in view? You could write anything about seeing Sythric running to see Raed., getting quite shocked for a moment, taking Raed's lance and calling Thydrë - asking all to come with him. You might also note, that he seems to be in great pains himself all the time, and bleeding from his side... Pick what you want from these - or don't use them. As you wish.

Okay, I knew that he was wounded pretty badly, but I wasn't sure where he was or what he was doing. I'll change that as soon as possible. But I can't get to it now. I have lots and lots of work to do yet today before I write anything more. I will, however, fix it later today.

Edit: I moved my post below your save, Nogrod, because it appeared that your post should go before mine. Hope no one minds.

Still haven't actually corrected it.

Edit #2: Okay, I've fixed it. Does that look alright?

I have put up a save and will fill it sometime today. I will have Vaenosa kill or wound four Easterlings before she succomes to a wound. That should leave five left I think for Incana and Eostre to deal with since I think they are the only ones not to have surfaced yet....I could be mistaken though , The Game is going so fast now

Sounds great so far, but I wonder ... Leod may have a busy time if we are all injured eh? Hope he won't mind!

Meghan shot at an Easterling and drove him off, but it wasn't a killing shot.

Valier · 04-21-2006, 11:57 AM

So that makes it....

Easterlings killed tally: 7 out of 16

Brand - 2

Sythric - 1

Osmod - 1

Rædwald - 3

Meghan - 1?

Vaenosa - 4?

Dorran - Aidhil (sp?)
So there are a few uninjured ones and a bunch of injured ones left.......What to do?.....

Edit: Cross posted with Child

Ok so we can leave the ones left and start to rally together all of us left standing.

Tevildo · 04-21-2006, 12:01 PM

HELP! I know you guys are notching numbers on your belt, but don't forget about the hilltop. Meghan and Dorran are about to be made toast by the Lord of the Easterlings. Either Meghan needs to do something productive or someone needs to help us out. Dorran is pretty spaced out at this point.

I'll get Leod out working shortly on injuries once the baddies have skipped town.

p.s. Hey, as long as we're notching numbers, don't forget that Dorran killed Aliharmi.

Shuoldn't the scorecard look like this:

Easterlings killed tally: 12 out of 16

Brand - 2

Sythric - 1

Osmod - 1

Rædwald - 3

Dorran - 1

Vaenosa - 4 (still to post)

Valier · 04-21-2006, 12:07 PM

No problem Telvido! I can have Vaenosa spot you guys on the hill and "race" to your aid with some arrows (hopefully none hitting you, just the baddies) Before an injured Easterling gives her a stab from behind with a spear. Does this work? Can you work with this, or should I do something different?

Tevildo · 04-21-2006, 12:11 PM

Anything! Just get this guy off my back.

Don't know though if Meghan wants to do something on her own or if she's alert enough to do so.

Valier and everyone,

Please don't kill all the Easterlings. I asked earlier that their Lord be left alive. Let him escape with one or two companions. This is more realistic, given the odds at the beginning.

I don't mind if you give my main character a thrashing and wound him, but leave him well enough to slip away into the woods with a few companions. ( I'll do that part later.) Remember he is one of Sauron's appointed generals. This guy is no light weight.
